hello! cny was gone in a flash, haha. okay or i shld say, cny holidays. cny has 15 days doesnt it? :) alot to update about....... but ok for a start let me talk abt pre-cny, my s79 class dinner :D it was at PS Manhattan's Fish Market. they wanted to watch a movie which i wasnt going haha but end up they didnt watch the movie somehow, was super late, supposed to reach at 730 but i just boarded my dear 190 at 715 hahaha but YEAY it was fast :D reached PS at 845 ;p met the class, waited so long just to get seats la. manhattan's really super crowded, its too small la gotta expand its size haha. so meanwhile munyee and i went down to FaceShop i got my red nail polish hehe ehhhhh then yeah we went to eat, took quite long to decide on the food..... oh the (botak) GUYS were talking abt ARMY ALL THROUGH DINNER they have endless stuff to say man hahahahah it was quite interesting at times but quite boring sometimes at the end of it most of the girls were just stoning while the guys are still extremely enthusiastic abt their army days hahaha yeaaaah then i kept ending up staring at the tv there talking abt marine life lol. cant believe the guys all in NS now, we are seriously so old already. but yeah must keep feeling happy we're still not THAT old, or else we'll regret it in future, time doesnt slow down anyway right. yeaaaah.

after dinner we took some photos at PS! hahahahahah the guy who helped us take the photo was so funny cause the guys (my class) are obsessed over their army talk so took super long to like "pose" for a class photo, the guy was like "hey hurry up army boys!" ok it doesnt sound funny here but it really was funny, with his expression and everything lol cause it was so obvious they were talking abt army. and its even more obvious that they are in army, judging from their bald heads, hahahah.

and so... mr nah proud to be the only guy to have hair :D (COOL hair, at that :))
MY CLASS :D

cny...... i see the same people all 3 days hahah no wonder my angbao money so little :O hahah but it was alright la, being with my cousins is fun, its interesting to see how some of them changed/in terms of both looks and opinions and character, from the last time i saw them. for the rest of us, we're pretty much the same :) update next time when my sister upload the photos! now after cny ahhhhhhh work is dreaaaadffullllllll yst was like omg i reached home late after spending the second day of cny at my uncle's house, still have to wake up early in the morning and literally draaagg myself to work. at work my eyes keep closing really wanted to sleep there and then like lie on the table or sth, reminds me of school....... :) managed to get thru wed and thur (today) WITH tuition at night, so glad tmr's friday :) this cny's abit different from other years too, more interesting, got to go out with my cousin and sis instead of stoning at my grandma's house the whole day like the past years watching the adults gambling haha, more freedom, went praying at loyang like the other years which i look forward to :) and met up with my favourite people for a movie on 1st day of cny :) okay update altogether next time

maybe it isnt that our timings dont match, its that we are still not that important to each other. but yeaah im fine with it, hopefully it'll get better :)

im constantly traumatised by next tuesday sighhhhhhh my trip to the dentist i wonder how it will turn out. :(

HAPPY CNY at hwachong hahaha the niu damn cute right :D we walked thru the whole central plaza but didnt even spot it after quite some time haha. anyway...... back to school feels good! a little weird and outofplace la since we're like not j1s or j2s but j3s but still it feels nice being in school again after these months. being in school and relaxing, having fun, not studying or mugging, haha. sigh, i miss being in school!

we met early at KAP, haven been there in so long! and since we're so broke we all ate the $2 meal haha :D still rmb in sec4 jiayuan yueyang eunice and i used to go kap everyday to study. and all the ..memorable times. hahaha. oh well! the aunty who used to chase us away and scold us for eating outside food is still there, and yst she was VERY nice haha.

anyway, yeah they had those cny food stalls again, just that this year its done by j2s instead of j1s since the j1 cohort hasnt really entered, only got ip kids now. went to support my junior class hahahahah which doesnt sell any food but has a scammer game which cheats money. well, i allowed them to cheat my money willingly hahaha just to support them mah :D but smart la good earning money idea eh thanks to iype and jieyang lol. walked ard, went up to staffroom and talked to some teachers, i saw mr nah! hahahahha :) he's taking s76 this year :(:(:( and my junior class has this new ct which doesnt really look very nice. sigh oh well good luck to them. :) THEN i was talking to carole teo who keeps asking/suggesting/giving advice on what i shld do in uni hahaha and keep telling me not to be stressed haha thanks ms teo. cant believe 2 years have passed since i first saw her introducing herself as the ct of 07s79 when we were j1s. time really flies huh. and when i was in the staffroom i cant help feeling weird like.. we graduated from this place?????? seems like not that long ago when i used to go to the staffroom looking for teachers, eg mr nah and mrs lee (chaykoon), having consultations and consultations.... unbelievable. but, yeah we did. ah well. we watched the j2s do mass dance (j1s haven learnt mass dance since they havent had orientation) eh then the celebrations ended and we left, at first wanting to go town but the buses were so flooded we took an empty 170 to bugis haha.

oh we lau-ed yusheng :):) i managed to lau too with my junior class hahah and took some class photos for them, it was nice i like being with them! :) wishing best wishes for this new year :)

saw the j1s in school, they are in hc uniform alr. a different and relatively weird system this year with all the ip people in school first and having lessons in their SEC 4 CLASSES its damn weird la. then they say during school you can see like one side all boys, the other side all girls. -.- shldnt they just randomly mix them up for a start. but ok that will be weird too cos everyone will know one another alr then when orientation comes the olevel people will feel out of place. haha. well we were saying they missed out some of the fun in jc, esp jc1. like how they can switch uniforms, and since cny is so early this year, they missed out on the foodstalls part, and fac dance!! rmb when we were in j1 the fac dance competition was during cny celebrations. i rmb staying in sch with jiayi and some others emo-ing during j1 cause apollo lost :( yeah, back then we had so much emotions hahaha faculty spirit :)

so we went to bugis...













we walked around, meisiew and i got abit insane from lack of sleep hahahah while casey slept everywhere he went. jiayuan meisiew casey and i ate at The Soup Spoon then walked ard, jiayuan left for her job interview, we walked somemore, met wanteng who was on her lunch break!! :)wanted to watch a movie but the timings suck. cathay is still da best :D met helen, walked somemore, meisiew and i wanted to buy shoes but cant find lol and we gave up. then we decided to n-u-a in J.CO HAHA while helen bought A donut, took some photos talked, jiayuan came back and we played this thumb game which is so lame but so funny!! hahaha :D then 4pm arrived we went washroom and left, helen and i to tuition, meisiew jiayuan and casey home. tuition was so sian, haha. i want my money. :(

today there's s79 class reunion dinner! haha. i wonder how will it be. hope it'll be fun. oh all the guys will be bald HAHA they just booked out yst. :] shermin's coming my house now, gotta go see you guys :) HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR enjoy these few days then it'll be back to work -.- :'( where all the routine will start again luckily next sun the dancers are meeting up again hehe belated birthday celebration for jiayee and sharon :) ahhhh and very soon i'll need to go to the dentist omg

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR :):) GONG XI FA CAI best wishes for the new (niu) year :D

second post in a row ok hahah since i probably wont get another chance to blog anytime soon, my brother's frigging hogging the com.

its so irritating to always want something which you dont have, i was thinking at work that whyyyyy am i spending my long break like this its like its not all the time you get a few months break like that! and this kind of long break is probably a once-in-a-lifetime kinda thing until you are so old and retire or sth haha so WHY AM I WORKING? i shld be like enjoying my youth or sth (oh as we're on the topic i cant believe im going to be NINETEEN THIS YEAR) and yeah. but on the other hand, i need MONEY. or else how am i going to enjoy life. and to be more far-sighted, i probably need the money for my expenses in future, i know i spend alot. and if i dont work, there'll be the naggy feeling that everyone's working hard for money while im wasting my life away. so how do you actually define wasting your life?? i have very different definitions for that at different times. sometimes wasting my life= working and feeling sian waiting for time to pass BUT sometimes wasting my life= spending money and doing nothing constructive i might as well be working. yeah. im a very contradictory person. haha. sigh.

and now i get an admin job i look at my tuition and feel sian i think it sucks to teach hahah i hate repeating and repeating myself and trying to capture a student's attention argh but the problem is i used to think i'll like teaching. then i think admin is better cause dont really need to communicate i mean you dont have to force someone to understand anything it more of depends on yourself. then i think admin is boring. then i feel like being a relief teacher. then i look back and remind myself how i dread tuition and explaining stuff to kids. then i think relief teaching might be different cause its a whole class of kids and time will probably pass very fast. and kids are very cute, right?

my everyday life is caught up in some dilemmas im always thinking abt this then contradicting myself over and over again. i think when my contract with Aviva (where im working now) expires, i'll take like one/two weeks off to "enjoy life"- which is what i want when im working. then probably do some other job lol (relief teaching?) to gain more experiences. but when im at that i'll probably keep worrying over whether they'll want me, how to find a job, the pay and all that. aiya. sigh.

hahahhahaah im super paranoid right. hahahahah for now (omg 1.31am already), SLEEP, back to hwachong tmr (:

!
HandWritten on; 12:19 AM

actually i got alot of things i want to say, so much that i dont really know how to kai shi, haha. was reading some of my juniors' blogs, as in like 2years-younger-than-me-now-j1 juniors then suddenly had some weird feelings ok i shall explain later.

these days! WORK WORK WORK mon-fri 9-6 and tuition on tue/wed/thur/sat i dont have much time to do anything else hahaha i dont even enough time to sleep la. i miss going out and having fun and enjoying life but on the other hand i need the money and most of the time thats whats keeping me going :) and im trying to keep reminding myself to be glad and appreciative that i have a job amidst singapore's "longest and sharpest recession" quoting MyPaper HAHA which is an office-people-paper which people gives out for free every morning around 8am at the mrt stations and at lunch hour at Amoy Food Centre which is also basically an office-people-hawker-centre haha. :D ok la actually now im learning something right. like im experiencing how is it like to be a shang ban zu. so i guess thats good. something new.

the adults at work are quite serious most of the time, especially when my desk is like totally no privacy at all there're people surrounding me hahahha but OKAY LA its near the toilet......... oh 3-5pm is the WORST time of the day the time CRAWLS past its like every time i look at the time it has only been a minute or something i swear its so torturous. LUCKILY :D :D my friends at work make it much better. even though we dont really get much chances to talk given that our tables are (purposely) rather far away from one another haha but having them ard during lunch and our self-proclaimed break at 430pm :D makes work much more bearable. its cool really how 5 of us all from different jcs can click in a way..... not in the comfort zone way but in a comfortable way which is still nice. i mean, we only known one another for less than 3 weeks :)

last thursday the office people had some event going on like listen to the CEO talk or sth so the office closes at 330pm! so we can like go off hahaahahah it was a good day :D we went cine to watch the movie Changling which is actually pronounced as Change-ling while all of us were like, chan-ge-ling? chang-ger-ling???? hahahahaha funny. i liked the movie, but some parts are disturbing i must admit. but Angelina Jolie is a really good actress. the front was bit draggy but it got better towards the back. a good movie to catch, its like more of the meaningful and good movie kind than the nice and funny kind which doesnt leave you with much after the 2hours. i wanted to watch a good movie for a looong time. guess this is not bad :) after that the 5 of us, me + thingthing (nj) vanessa (nyj) yijie (tj) mieoteng (vj) we talked at kfc for like 2 and a half hours!!!!! like just sitting there and talking and laughing hahahha while yijie ate, the rest of us had dinner at home so we merely shared a box of cheese fries lol but i dontknow what we were saying, we ended up realising we are all inter-linked cause of friends' friends and all that it was so funny we were just talking nonsense hahaha but it was fun. :D oh a few days before that i realised thingthing's actually shermin's nj squash friend hahaha cool oh anyway ITS A VERY VERY SMALL WORLD. :) anyway, we got so high talking and laughing we decided to have a BACK TO SCHOOL day @ work the next day (fri aka dress-down-day) LOL

yeaaaaaahhhhh hard to believe but yeah we wore half u to work HAHAHAHAHHA insane right the office people were like so curious some even asked if we had school that day, even the security guard asked! lol hahaha i think that day the people at tanjong pagar/raffles place think we're insane




hahaha thingthing disappeared during lunch so couldnt take photos with her, thats her isolated workspace :D which i started to vandalise with post-its :) and the following photo after that is my desk, where i sit at and stone at every single day :( the thing on the com is the weird software database which is frigging complicated.
THATS US :D from left, -thingthing,me,yijie,mieoteng,vanessa :):) my dear friends at work hahaha. anyway taking this photo was DAMN scary we took it in the pantry (you can see the fridge behind us lol) during office hours like 5pm or sth when we're facing the camera we're actually facing the outside as in there's no door or whatever to the pantry so anyone who walks past can see us and we'll really GG haha we actl wanted to talk photo after work but thingthing had to rush off so had to do this lol it was super exciting though :D

okay. enough about work, ehhhhh I TOOK LEAVE TMR thats why im still on the com now (12.55am) going back to hwachong tmr! omg i miss school so much :( actually im waking up earlier tmr than working days but guess the excitement will keep me going. working days i have to sleep at like 11plus 12 or i'll be dead tired the next day, whats more with the boring job of staring at the computer without an internet connection-.- tmr's hc cny celebrations! anyway, i was saying yeah.. weird feelings... its like super weird when you read the posts of the j1s talking abt the school, the canteen, the class benches, the wings and them saying they dont really feel comfortable yet cause yeah its a new environment and everything. but then to you its such a familiar place, the place where we spent our 2 years, playing, studying, our ups and downs... when they say they feel like going back to nanyang cos they think hc is old and everything i feel angry its like insulting a place where i'll love to be every single day HAHAHAHHA ok im insane. but i love my school alot. seriously. hearing them talking abt a place which to them is new and unfamiliar and probably yeah... old... but to me is a place so close to my heart. sigh. and yeah, hearing them talking abt the school sayings its THEIRS feels weird. i mean, i know its theirs-.- its something which is theirs but used to be mine. but isnt it mine now too. SIGH :'( ahhhh okay i dont know what im saying. i love hwachong <3

hiiiiii well WORK STARTED im now a 9-6 office person working at a cool office at Shenton Way with lifts that serve 1-16floors and then 17-29floors respectively so since i go to 20th floor i take the latter and from 1-16 its this EZ (Express Zone) thing which kills my ears everytime i take the lifts down ok i know im damn loser. and i will try to cover my ears or sth unless the life is so crowded all the professionals will think im damn loser. which i kinda am. but whatever hahahah. i have been working for 5 days now! it has been a tough week, im really really glad today's friday. :) no wonder they say TGIF- Thank God It's Friday :D monday was horrible, its like the company's working com software is soooo complicated i took up 3 A4-sized papers just writing the procedure down its with all the F1 F2 F12 F9 buttons on the keyboard which i hardly touch till now yeah its damn cheem. haha but thank God im getting used to it. so monday was the horrible-st day. tue okaaaay, getting used to stuff. and actually i've been pretty much doing the same things, its admin so its like change of address or whatever renewal notices, i actually enjoy the photocopying papers part quite alot hahahahha it takes up alot of time :)

(Warning: This whole humogous post is 80% about my (boring) work.)

but i seriously wonder how do these professionals handle it, a 9-6 job, waking up early, squeezing on the trains like sardines (i need to miss at least 2 trains before i can board one every morning, its like you need to QUEUE to QUEUE to BOARD yeah cause there are tonnes of people queuing to board...) then going down to tanjong pagar/raffles place, escalators PACKED with people, exits SWARMING with people, ...it'll be damn challenging to try to go against the crowd seriously you'll probably get trampled on and die... sitting in the office by 9am, work and countdown to lunch 12pm which lasts one small hour. then back for another 6hours before home sweet home. and poor me have to go teach tuition at 730-9/930 for 3 of the weekdays I CAN JUST DIE i feel like collasping just after one week omg. now you see why getting to Friday has been such a humogous accomplishment. i dono why the office people like to have same start-work time, same lunch-hours, same end-work time, its like these timings everywhere will be swarming with people and there're so many offices in Shenton Way i was thinking if im a boss i'll set lunch at 2pm or sth. argh.

before this job i was thinking it'll be so cool to work in Shenton Way, the heart of the Central Business District, it'll be so cool to work ard raffles place, it'll be not bad getting a 9-6 job in a cool office typing away on a computer all day long. sounds relaxing and fun? hahaha i was totally wrong man. now i seriously need to think if i really want this kind of job in the future. i mean now at least its like temporary. i need to think if i want to choose this kind of lifestyle for my future. so yeah, at least its an experience :) i was thinking i worked so many jobs before, sales, waitressing, tuition, temp staff at Makansutra for work attachment in sec3, now admin in a large insurance company...... i've probably tried it all. and im not really sure i like any like really alot to make it my career. i think nothing suits me ): sigh what am i supposed to do man. haha. okay la but after 5 days of this office-life, im glad to say im getting used to it. maybe it wont be so bad afterall. im just missing out on alot of life though. i desperately need to go out. ahhhhhhh/.

i need to do something with a meaning next time. maybe an office job is not that bad, just that the stuff im doing now is all mundane and repetitive, it'll certainly be very different as a career of course. ok nevermind, im looking forward to studying. haha. oh luckily on my first day there were these 3 girls reporting too, so there were 4 of us altogether, after reporting at the reporting location we walked to the working location together, and altho we're working on the exact same floor we don see one of the girls anymore somehow, not like the office very big.... think we eat at different times and everything. quite amazing to not see someone who's working at the same level in the same office as you lol, but yeah then the 3 of us kinda stuck together im really quite glad to have the two of them :) though on monday i felt kinda displaced, like out of my comfort zone, i mean, i haven really have to make new friends for quite some time.................. then i was thinking about the dancers and i miss them so much :) going out with them on sunday!

DEAR JIAYI I WILL MISS YOU PLEASE TAKE CARE HAVE FUN AND COME BACK SOON!!!! LOVE YA :):):) SEND ME EMAILS/FB WALL MESSAGES we'll miss you :(

anyway wed after work, met the dancers at vivo we had MAD guys army sendoff :D though actually most of them gng in in april hahah but stilll... it was nice seeing the dancers again. 3 days at work felt like 3 years. then they stayed at St James but "9am Shenton Way" resulted in me having to go home, haha left with meisiew sharon weiting hanzhi. here are 5 of the photos taken that night at vivo, lazy to update more haha, more on facebook (duh).

today, FRIDAY! :D the best day hahaha eh i was working ard 11plus meisiew msged me and said jiayuan and her are coming down to raffles place recruit express to get a job so we can lunch together! then since sharon works at tanjong pagar and my workplace is in the middle of tanjong pagar and raffles place, we met at tanjong pagar and ate some mixed veg rice hahaha cos its actually further from my office than i thought and i only have one small hour, i ate like frigging fast after that abit indigestion i think haha but luckily its nothing much :) IT WAS NICE SEEING THEM THOUGH!!!! ahh, i miss my friends, haha, miss my comfort zone :)

okay tuition tmr new student OMG I WANT TO DROP THIS STUDENT but i cant ahhhhh i only agreed in dec cos that time i was so free with nothing to do. now, omgggg. but cant reject cause alr accepted omgosh, think im only gng to teach for one month or sth, im seriously gonna beng kui hahah okay SLEEP MAN i rmb the last few posts i was saying i got so much time i sleep alot then STILL get all tired, very nua and everything but still insomnia and cant sleep hahaha...... now NO MOREEE i need SLEEP BADLY ok hahah bye bye hope work gets better and hope tuition gets less tiring and i need more sleep you know it feels damn good to lie down and fall asleep straight away and wake up in the MORNING (this is impt) feeling energized and like the sleep has been worth it! :D good night loves (: my comfort zone, haha.
